Members Peppie Posted September 18, 2020 Members Report Posted September 18, 2020 I want to stitch a thin piece of trim over 2 layers of oil tanned 4oz leather. I attempted this with 2-3oz veggie tan (Tandy) . It worked well enough on a straight line. When I attempted to stitch this 2-3oz around 2" radius corner... the results were disastrous. Would it be better to use a chrome tanned, 1oz? Quote
Members Rahere Posted September 18, 2020 Members Report Posted September 18, 2020 What went wrong? Didn't you case it? Quote
Members Peppie Posted September 18, 2020 Author Members Report Posted September 18, 2020 I did case the trim piece. But once I started to go around the radius, the trim wrinkled up and distorted the corner Quote
Members Handstitched Posted September 18, 2020 Members Report Posted September 18, 2020 Try doing ' zig zag cuts' ,( deeper than pinking shears) along the edge but try it on some scrap first . You may still case it as well. I can't find a pic but , hope this sort of helps . HS Quote
